Is there a chance that 3.0 will have dual mine (preferably keccak/blake2s) ?

I do not understand why many people have the dual mining function waiting for phoenixminer 3.0, it is still possible with calymore dual miner. but what do you shoot with dual mining, costs much more energy and also less hashrate for eth and minimal earnings with the second coin.what do you shoot with this.i personally prefer a miner software that is economical with energy and stable works and high hashrate and more schares eth

Agreed.  I have little experience with mining, but lots tuning PC's with Windows and Ubuntu.  I've tried and tried tweaking the settings on both miners.  With Claymore's dual miner my ETH hashrate drops 10%, and the additional DCR only makes up for a mere fraction of of the loss.  Energy usage is the same regardless of which mining software I use.  So, obviously I'm sticking to phoenix.  Dual mining, at least Claymore's miner, just don't make cent$.

Dual mining is dead. ASICs killed that months ago. Nothing I've seen is profitable dual mining vs solo mining. Not only doesn't it cover the extra power used, it loses money, an increases heat. The dev of Phoenix should have stopped code for dual mining once it became clear it wasn't profitable anymore and focused on a linux version for the larger farms.
